Has Duchess Kate revealed her baby’s gender with her style choices?

Prince William and Duchess Kate’s royal baby is due any day now, and royal
watchers are placing their bets on whether a boy or girl will be welcomed into
the Cambridge clan. As of now, bookies are predicting it will be a little
princess– but are Kate’s clothing
choices saying otherwise?

In the past few months, the Duchess of Cambridge has been
dressing in various shades of blue, leading some to speculate that this is a
subtle hint at a gender reveal. At the beginning of February, Kate dazzled in a
gorgeous
blue GOAT coat while attending the
opening of the Action on Addiction centre in Essex. Later that month, the royal
stunned in blue twice more:
a Jenny Packham ensemble with
matching Jimmy Choo heels, and a
cornflower blue Seraphine dress for
the first joint outing of the ‘Fab Four.’ In March, she recycled
a deep blue lace gown by the same
brand, donning navy yet again for
the Commonwealth Day service at
Westminster Abbey.

Perhaps to throw fans off her trail, the Duchess went with a
gender-neutral mint green outfit at
the end of March for an event at the Royal Society of Medicine. But it was her
hot-pink Mulberry coat, which the 36-year-old sported in January on a visit to
the Coventry Cathedral, that really had tongues wagging with speculation. The
last time she wore this particularly girly number was in March 2015 on her
final engagement before giving birth to Princess Charlotte!

Fashion aside, curiosity has led to other gender revelations,
even down to the shape of her baby bump!
The
Mail Online
reported that Kate is expecting a girl because her baby bump is
“high and wide” like when she was pregnant with Charlotte in 2014. However,
this was
squashed by experts who claim the
shape has little to do with gender and more to do with the mother’s body type.

Though the gender of their child is still a complete
mystery, a bookmaker at
Paddy Power Betfair shared some
insight on the odds, which are leaning towards Prince George and Princess
Charlotte being big siblings to a sister. “By far the most popular name, in
volume and size of stakes, is Mary. We’ve received thousands of bets on that
being the choice of name, so much so that we actually had to suspect the
betting a few weeks ago,” they told
The
Independent
. But whether this baby is a boy or a girl, one thing is
certain:
they won’t be having twins!
